President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
His whole cabinet are with him
All of maga/gop are with him
They control both congressional houses + the Supreme Court
Half the dems are ok with half of what he does
None of which alters the fact that he’s patently insane.
Though it does certainly call their mental health into question too.
Did Watdabney stutter??? All I’m hearing is that “all of maga and half the dems” need to be taken out like the trash that they are.
You first.
Seriously, all this stupid talk of guillotines and everything else. You do realize a full third voted for this, a full third DID NOT CARE to vote at all. And honestly, until economic issues affect them those same 2/3 won’t care to do jack shit. And let me tell you, the 1/3 that hates this aren’t despaired enough to foment a revolution.
God these pithy sentiments are useless. Familiarize yourself with reality and understand that we are so, so far away from any real change.

Show me where in the 25th amendment they mention anything about guillitines.
Why are you going on about legalism, as if the US has a functioning legislative and judicial system? It is obviously broken to the core and the constitution or voting doesn’t matter in the slightest.
Who are the people who are going to invoke that 25th amendment on Trump?
A full third didn’t care to vote because a majority of Democrats said genocide is okay. Maybe instead of criticizing them, criticize the politicians that got us here.
And at least one of you still doesn’t understand:
Not voting is voting.
Democrats: Here’s your corporate Dick Cheney loving wouldn’t do anything differently than genocide Joe the Zionist puppet.
Progressives: Yeah, we’re not going to vote for that.
Democrats: Can’t believe we lost to Trump, it’s the Progressives fault. Guess we need to go further neocon the next election.
Not voting has never changed anything for the benefit of the non-voter. Never.
If you want any sort of change - vote.
I did vote for Jill Stein. But don’t act surprised that people don’t vote when given a fake choice between two neocons.
People being stupid stopped surprising me decades ago.
Jill stein is a plant to make you vote third party in a system designed for only two parties.
Man its weird how defensive the purity voters got. Palestine is being wiped from the map and we’re attacking other countries unprovoked but both sides amirite?
Every single one of these deaths could have been avoided if you didn’t fall for the obvious divide and conquer strategy being peddled out by bad faith actors.
The entire reason the Overton window keeps shifting right is because the right wing assholes will vote lockstep for whoever the right candidate is. He may not be right enough for them, or he may be too far right for some, but they all fucking show up and vote.
Meanwhile, we can’t get leftists to figure that simple fact out and then people directly helping these assholes wine about how the candidate wasn’t perfect.
uh dude
Is there something I need to clarify?
My previous encounters with the troll you’re communicating with lead me to conclude they are one of the bad faith actors you describe.
Democrats like Kamala Cheney keeps shifting right because that is the type of neocon Democrats you keep telling everyone they must support. Then when they engage in war without congressional approval & commit war crimes like Obama did, you stick your head in the sand.
I think most every president since FDR was ass. I also know letting the window shift further right isnt going to help. We should be making the furthest right candidate lose by tons each and every election just like the right shows out and keeps making that Overton window shift right.
It shifts right because people keep making excuses for corporate Democrats who don’t stand for anything. They keep propping up the system that got us here. If you consider yourself on the left, then vote left where the progressives were at. Don’t vote right of center & complain that it keeps shifting to the right. Don’t just scream about Republicans when genocide the proud Zionist Joe & drone-strike Obama were killing children. All it does is signal to everyone you’re a hypocrite, and that is how you end up with Trump.
Yet we are currently living through what happens when you do that. While both options suck, I’m not going to contribute to accelerating a genocide and allowing for multiple new warfronts to open up. I’m rather vote for not having camps like alligator Alcatraz opening up.
I vote as far left as possible in primaries and the general but we’re actively seeing what not voting against fascism gets you: fucking fascism. Has not voting against fascism stopped the bullshit DNC push of fucking Newsom? No. So non voters allowing fascism isnt exactly helping the cause.
A fraction of the Dems, let’s be real here.
half is still a fraction
1/1 is also a fraction, but in English dialect the term ‘a fraction’ is synonymous with ‘a small part of’ rather than denoting any possible fraction.
